EPA NATIONALLY QUALIFIEDELECTRONICS RECYCLER

MOLAM, owner of Recycletronics‚Ą? was awarded a five year contract by United States EPA in 2004.

The U.S. government disposes of approximately 10,000 computers every week, a significant number of which are ending up in storage closets, warehouses and landfills, or overseas, where environmental standards are generally lower. If mishandled, toxic chemicals like lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, and beryllium can be released into the environment. This complex waste stream poses challenging management issues and potential liability concerns for federal facilities. Reuse, recycling, and proper disposal can keep tons of pollutants out of landfills and the environment.

EPA awarded MOLAM a federal contract to help all federal agencies properly dispose of computers and other used electronic equipment. ¬†MOLAM is one of only 2 qualified recycling contractors in the U.S. to have ever received a National Contract from the EPA to recycle Electronics. ¬†Five other companies received Regional Contracts.

The contract ensured that federal e-scrap is disposed of in an environmentally proper manner and that data destruction was completed to government specifications. ¬†The government-wide recycling contract helped federal agencies meet requirements of Executive Order 13101, "Greening the Government through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Acquisition."

In 2007, U.S. EPA recognized MOLAM as follows:

‚ÄúTo date, the most successful task order has been the efforts put forth by MOLAM to properly dispose of over 20,000,000 lbs. of electronics on behalf of FEMA for the recovery efforts taking place in the Gulf Coast region as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. ‚Ä?/h1>
